Etsy Pick: Afternoon Outings

One of the things that I really want to do in the New Year is more exploring. Even in London it's easy to get stuck in a rut and go to the same shops, the same markets and the places that I love. But enough of that, I want to get to know the places I've always wondered about. And it would be very lovely if I had a map to help me (you tend to miss a lot staring at the map on your mobile).

Afternoon Outings (which I spotted over at Tea For Joy) are the perfect answer to my exploring plans. These handmade findings are a cross between a little discovery map and a greetings card. Of course, it's a little too late for Christmas, but there's always a good opportunity to send greetings cards. Especially when they're this pretty. The maps will cost just £5.50 and this Bloomsbury one will you where Virginia Woolf's house was. Perfect for brisk winter outings.
